ASPERSORIUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,398, dated December6, 1881,

Application filed May 20, 1881. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern:

- Be it known that I, PETER SoHNEiDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, E. D in the county of Kings and State of New York,have invented a new and useful Aspersorium, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of my invention is to provide an aspersorium having a bodycomposed of noncorrosive material with a handle adapted to be applied toand attached to the said body after the same is formed and finished.

The invention consists in providing the noncorrosive body with a flaringneck to receive and retain a metallic band placed around the said neckand conformed to it so as to be prevented from slipping off, said bandfurnishing a connection for the handle of theaspersorium.

It also consists in the arrangement for connecting the band with theneck, hereinafter described.

In theaccompa-nyingdrawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of myimproved aspersorium. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the top, showing thehandle connection; and Fig. 3 is a top plan of the aspersoriu m. Fig. 4represents, on an enlarged scale, a sectional elevation of theconnection of the ears with the band and the top of the aspersorium.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the body of the aspersorium,which may be made of glass, crystal, or other suitable material notsubject to corrosion or depreciation by the action of water or theatmosphere. The body may be made of any suitable shape and color, and itmay be ornamented with sacred and other symbols. The top Bis turnedoutward, forming an outwardly-flaring neck, a. An annulus or band, C, isconformed circumferentially to the neck a by giving it a downwardly andinwardly inclined bevel, as shown, so that when placed around the neckthe latter will hold it securely in connection with the body A. As theaspersorium mustbe finished after E E represent the ears to which thehandle E is swung. These ears may be attached directly to the band C, orthey may be attached to the splicing-plates d by passing the studs orpins b on their inner ends through the plates d and riveting orotherwise fastening them to the said plates.

An aspersorium made of a non corrosive material has many ad vantagesover those heretofore used, which, being made of metal, are quicklycorroded by the water and atmosphere, and in turn contaminate the water.They also become olfensive to the sight and touch but by making the bodyor reservoir of glass and similar materials corrosion is impossible,they are elegant in appearance, clean to handle, and are much moreeconomical than when made of metal. By providing the top with a beveledor flared neck the band which connects the handle to the body orreservoir is prevented from slipping off, and by making the band inparts and connecting the ends in the manner described the body can befinished before the band and handle are put on.

I claim- The combination of the non-corrosive body A, flaring neck a,band C, splicing-plates d, ears E, provided with studs 12, attached toplates 01, and handle F, substantially as shown and described.
